Just a quick one - locally, almost all schools (including DD's luckily) authorise absence for pupils competing in a big local dance / music / drama festival. However, one does not, in particular it is not doing so for a chuild taking SATs the following week.
i know there is guidance / law around absence being allowed for 'performances' covered by licenses. What is the norm / is there any law around absence to perform / compete in competitive festivals?
(QWe are talking about a couple of days, for a child with no other absence for the same purpose this year and with a good attendance record otherwise)
